    1.0 INTRODUCTION

    Cambium Inc. (Cambium) was retained by Peterborough Utilities Incorporated (PUI) to prepare this Project

    Description Report (PDR) for the operation of a Renewable Energy Generation Facility (the Facility) at the

    Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 425 Kennedy Road, in Peterborough, Ontario

    (the Site).

    This Report has been prepared in accordance with Ontario Regulation (O. Reg.) 359/09 Renewable Energy

    Approvals under Section V.0.1 of the Ontario Environmental Protection Act and is being submitted as part of a

    Renewable Energy Approval (REA) application for the Facility.

    General information about the proposed project, including the project and Site description, the source of

    renewable energy, as well as brief descriptions of anticipated environmental impacts are provided in this PDR.

    1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

    PUI intends to design, build and commission a 400 kilowatt (kW) combined heat and power (CHP) facility by

    utilizing the Peterborough WWTP as an energy source. The Peterborough WWTP process creates a methane

    gas by-product (biogas) that fuels three (3) boilers used in the Facilitys anaerobic digestive system; however, the

    amount of fuel required for the boilers is finite, and currently a surplus of by-product methane gas is being

    produced, flared and essentially wasted.

    The methane will be the fuel source for the reciprocating engines and the thermal energy generated from the

    engine(s) will be captured through a heat recovery system. The heat recovery system in turn will heat the water

    utilized in the anaerobic digestive system. This is considered to be a Class 3 anaerobic digestion facility that

    utilizes biomass organic matter as per O. Reg. 359/09.

    An application by PUI was made to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to obtain a contract for the sale of

    electricity from the CHP Facility through the Provinces Feed in Tariff (FIT) program (enabled by the Green

    Energy and Green Economy Act). PUI has been awarded a FIT 2.1 Contract for the sale of electricity to the

    Ontario OPA. The FIT 2.1 program requires a REA to be completed prior to the Notice to Proceed (NTP) being

    issued from the OPA.

    The official name of the project is: Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant Generation Project

    1.2 CONTACTS

    PUI is the applicant and Cambium is the engineering consultant representing PUI. Contact information for PUI

    2.0 PROJECT INFORMATION

    2.1 PROJECT LOCATION

    The facility will be situated on approximately 0.096 hectares (ha) (0.24 acres) of land located within the property

    boundary of a 13.21 ha (32.66 acres) WWTP located at 425 Kennedy Road, in Peterborough, Ontario. The

    WWTP, operated by the City of Peterborough, is located approximately 1.2 kilometers southsoutheast of downtown Peterborough. All project components will be contained within the Site. The project location and lands

    within 300 m are shown in Figure 2 as per the Technical Guide to Renewable Energy Approvals, Chapter 4,

    Guidance for Preparing the Project Description Report (Ministry of the Environment, 2013).

    2.2 ENERGY SOURCES

    The Peterborough WWTP process creates a methane gas by-product that fuels three (3) boilers used in the

    Facilitys anaerobic digestive system; however, the amount of fuel required for the boilers is finite, and currently a

    surplus of by-product methane gas is being produced, flared and essentially wasted. With the addition of the

    generation Facility the goal will be to collect the biogas and convert it to electricity.

    Two (2) CHP's Agrogen BGA 158 and BGA 086 engines are proposed to burn the methane gas which will

    produce the electricity to be fed into the grid. The gas will first go through a cleaning unit which would remove

    any trace compounds that would adversely affect the engine life and performance (i.e. hydrogen sulphide,

    siloxanes, etc.).

    The existing flare and boiler system will be utilized when necessary to burn the biogas produced when the CHP

    engines are down for maintenance. During times of maintenance or shut down, a small amount of electricity

    would be purchased from the local power distribution grid to operate equipment.

    2.3 PROJECT COMPONENTS

    All components of the project will be located within the boundaries of the project location area depicted in Figure 1

    and Figure 2. The main components of the proposed generation Facility include, gas treatment, conversion from

    biogas to electricity and heat, and distribution of the electricity generated. These components are described in

    more detail in the following sub-sections.

    2.3.1 GAS TREATMENT

    The methane must be treated prior to combustion in the engines. Untreated gas reduces the life of the engines

    and increases the overall operating costs of the Facility.

  • Project Description Report

    2014-01-28

    Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant Generation Project

    Peterborough Utilities Inc.

    Prepared by Cambium Inc. Reference: 3005-001 Page 5

    The gas cleaning unit is capable of 250 Nm3/hr, which would remove any trace compounds that would adversely

    affect the engine(s) life and performance.

    2.3.2 CONVERSION OF METHANE GAS TO ELECTRICITY AND HEAT

    The methane gas is converted to electricity and heat through combustion in high efficiency engines that are

    designed to burn biogas. The engines are directly coupled to a generator that will produce electricity.

    2.3.3 DISTRIBUTION OF ELECTRICITY

    The engine gensets are connected to a 600 V bus using the generator breakers. Electrical energy, net of

    electricity used for station services, is stepped up to the utility voltage of 44 kV. Station service supplies power to

    auxiliary loads on the gensets and gas treatment system. The high voltage side of the transformer is connected

    to the 44 kV utility line through a fused disconnect switch. A short length of new 44 kV line will be constructed on

    the WWTP site and will connect the generating facility to the Peterborough Distribution Inc. existing distribution

    system.

    2.4 RENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATION FACILITY CLASS

    The proposed project is considered to be a Class 3 anaerobic digestion facility that utilizes biomass organic

    matter as per the interpretation provided in Part I of O.Reg. 359/09 (i.e. an anaerobic digestion facility means a

    renewable energy generation facility at which biogas made from anaerobic digestion is used to generate

    electricity).

    2.5 PROJECT ACTIVITIES

    Project activities for the construction, operation and decommissioning phases are summarized below.

    2.5.1 CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION PHASES

    The CHP energy Facility is located at a WWTP site that has all existing road infrastructure required to serve the

    Site during the construction and operational phase. The key construction activities involved in the project are:

    Prepare site base for equipment slab foundations;

    Install gas lines that tie into existing piping infrastructure;

    Pour slab foundations for the transformer equipment;

    Install the following equipment components:

    o Gas treatment unit;

    o Two (2) genset units;

    2014-01-28

    Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant Generation Project

    Peterborough Utilities Inc.

    Prepared by Cambium Inc. Reference: 3005-001 Page 6

    o Pad mount Transformer;

    o Switch gear and,

    o Telecommunications equipment.

    Interconnect wiring and piping between equipment; and,

    Testing and commissioning of systems and equipment.

    It is expected that the construction phase would start in fall of 2015 and continue for a duration of seven (7)

    months.

    2.5.2 OPERATION PHASE

    The biogas generated at the WWTP is expected to keep the gensets at base load (400 kV) for all operation hours

    (24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week). The availability of the engines should be 95 percent or better. Biogas

    that is available when the gensets are off-line is to be diverted back to the existing boilers.

    The maintenance required for the Facility consists of the following:

    Annual preventative maintenance on 600 V switchgear, replace filters, general lubrication, small motor

    PM, etc.;

    Engine top-end overhaul every 40,000 hours (every four (4-5) years); and,

    Engine major overhaul every 80,000 hours (every eight (9-10) years).

    The Facility will be unmanned but an operator will visit the Site regularly to inspect and maintain the Facility and to

    respond to any issues that may come about. The control system will be equipped with a pager system to notify

    the operator in charge of any problems, and the Facility will be continuously monitored by PUI operations.

    Emissions and discharges from the proposed waste-to-energy project are detailed in Section 2.8.

    2.5.3 DECOMMISSIONING

    The decommissioning of Site will involve the removal of all equipment listed above as well as disconnection of

    gas lines and power line. The subject Site will be reinstated to conditions similar to its current conditions.

    2.6 NAMEPLATE CAPACITY

    The total nameplate capacity of the CHP energy project is 400 kW. The make, model and individual nameplate

    ratings of the proposed engine-generators are summarized in the table below.

    2.7 LAND OWNERSHIP

    The land for the proposed generation Facility will be leased from the WWTP owner The City of Peterborough.

    PUI will be the leaser of the property within the existing buildings as well a portion of land outside of the existing

    building that is used for support infrastructure.

    2.8 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

    2.8.1 CULTURAL HERITAGE AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES

    The Facility is not anticipated to have a negative impact on cultural heritage values or archaeological resources

    due to the current land use of the Site. There are not anticipated to be any cultural facilities or structures within

    the assessment area for the project, as the Site is dominated by buildings and infrastructure associated with the

    operation of the existing WWTP. The surrounding area is primarily modern residential, with structures built within

    the last 30 years. Despite this preliminary assessment, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport (MCTS) will be

    consulted directly to obtain any relevant information to the Site area.

    Similarly, archaeological resources are not anticipated to be negatively affected by the proposed project. Due to

    the historically developed nature of the Site, and in light of the reality that ground disturbance within the Site area

    will be minimal to allow for the proposed project, it is not anticipated that archaeological resources will be

    encountered. All proposed works associated with the project will be completed within a land base that has been

    historically cleared, graded or otherwise disturbed. With the exception of the installation of a small amount of

    support infrastructure installed into the ground, all other works associated with the project will be within an existing

    building, on an existing paved surface. Despite this preliminary assessment, the MCTS will be consulted directly

    to obtain any relevant information to the Site area. An archaeological assessment will be completed by a qualified

    firm, if determined to be required by MCTS.

    2.8.2 NATURAL HERITAGE RESOURCES

    There are few natural areas within the mandatory 120 m assessment area from the project location. The

    Otonabee River is located immediately to the north of the Site. A preliminary review suggests that the project

    location is not located within any natural features and that significant natural features are not anticipated to be

    found within the assessment area. In accordance with the requirements of the REA process, Cambium will

  • Project Description Report

    2014-01-28

    Peterborough Waste Water Treatment Plant Generation Project

    Peterborough Utilities Inc.

    Prepared by Cambium Inc. Reference: 3005-001 Page 8

    complete a Natural Heritage Assessment Records Review Report and Site Investigation Report to determine

    whether there are natural features in the project area that may be impacted. The assessment will be completed

    as per direction provided within the Natural Heritage Assessment Guide for Renewable Energy Projects published

    by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) (July 2011). Based on the outcome of the assessment, an

    Evaluation of Significance and an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) may be determined to be required. A

    screening for species at risk (SAR) will be completed as a component of the Natural Heritage Assessment, and

    habitat of SAR will be identified if it exists.

    The project location is situated within the urban fringe area of the City of Peterborough, and is surrounded by

    major roadways, the WWTP and residential development. Based on the location of the Site, the surrounding land

    uses and the lack of natural areas within the assessment area it is anticipated that impacts to the natural

    environment will be negligible. Mitigation measures may be proposed to protect the natural environment during

    and following project implementation.

    2.8.3 WATER BODIES

    As noted, the project location is within 120 m of the Otonabee River. There are no other water bodies within the

    120 m assessment area. In accordance with O. Reg. 359/09 a Records Review and Site Investigation pertaining

    to water bodies in the assessment area will be completed.

    Despite the location of the Otonabee River within the 120 m assessment area, impact to the aquatic resource is

    not anticipated. The proposed project will not result in an alteration to the quality or quantity of run-off leaving the

    Site and will not interfere directly with the watercourse. This preliminary evaluation suggests that impacts to water

    bodies in the vicinity of the project location are not expected.

    2.8.4 AIR QUALITY, EMISSIONS, AND ODOUR

    The Facility is expected to emit air contaminants including products of combustion (carbon dioxide (CO2)) from

    the generators, and potentially odour. An odour study and emissions and dispersion modeling study is being

    undertaken to ensure that the operation meets MOE requirements.

    The overall emissions (and odorous compounds) currently generated at the Site are expected to be reduced due

    to the fact that the current system operates a flare to burn off the methane gas and outputs it to the environment.

    The proposed CHP Facility will use all the methane gas thereby eliminating the need to flare excess methane

    gas. In the event that a malfunction of the generator occurs, maintenance temporarily ceases the operation of

    equipment, or excess biogas is produced, the operation of the existing boilers and flare are capable of

    combusting 100 percent of the biogas generated.

    Prepared by Cambium Inc. Reference: 3005-001 Page 9

    2.8.5 NOISE

    Potential negative environmental effects from the emission of noise will include the engines and generators that

    are contained within a building (the operation of the power plant). The project is undertaking a noise study to

    ensure that the operations will comply with MOE noise criteria.

    2.8.6 LAND USE AND RESOURCES

    The Renewable Energy Generation Facility will be constructed entirely on the existing, City of Peterborough

    owned WWTP Site. Historic and current land use surrounding the Site is predominantly residential.

    No known aggregate resources, petroleum wells, recreation areas, or forest resources exist within 300 m of the

    Site.

    The Renewable Energy Generation Facility is unlikely to have negative environmental effects on surrounding land

    use and resources.

    2.8.7 PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE

    Since the Facility is located entirely on the City of Peterborough owned WWTP Site, no negative environmental

    effects to provincial and local infrastructure are expected. An increase in traffic to the Site on provincial and

    municipal roadways is not expected due to the nature of the Facility.

    2.8.8 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY

    The generating station will be contained within the lockable, fenced property owned by the City of Peterborough,

    within a building to prevent unauthorized access and to ensure public safety during construction and operation

    phases. Applicable City of Peterborough, Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act, PUI and PDI safety

    policies and procedures will be adhered to during the construction phase of the project for work undertaken within

    the project site. Appropriate signage, flagging, and other safety measures will be considered and used when

    appropriate in order to notify the public of potential hazards and ensure public safety.

    The project will result in the release of fewer greenhouse gas and odourous emissions from the WWTP into the

    atmosphere. The project will produce approximately 400 kW of power (producing electricity for 300 homes),

    reducing our reliance on non-renewable sources of energy and further offsetting greenhouse gas emissions from

    fossil based generators. No public health and safety issues are expected.

    2.8.9 AREAS PROTECTED UNDER PROVINCIAL PLANS AND POLICIES

    No protected areas or provincial plans are expected to be impacted by the proposal. The Peterborough WWTP is

    not located in the Protected Countryside and/or Natural Heritage System as described in the Greenbelt Plan and

    Greenbelt Act. The Facility is also not located in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan Area, Niagara
